KUALA LUMPUR: Top Glove Corportation, the world's biggest maker of medical gloves, plans to start producing face masks to meet rising demand from the coronavirus outbreak, a top executive told Reuters.
Top Glove's move comes as Malaysian companies modify production to meet a shortage of protective and testing equipment in the country, which has the most number of reported infections in Southeast Asia with 4,228 cases as of Thursday . Unprecedented demand for medical and testing materials has made it harder and longer for countries to source essential equipment.
